Duolingo has developed a colorful smartphone widget to help learners maintain their language learning habit by providing visual reminders of their streak progress. Initially conceptualized during a hackathon following the iOS 14 widget update, the widget aims to motivate action through simplicity and Duo's engaging personality. Its effectiveness in improving user retention prompted further iterations and promotions. Duolingo has expanded the widget’s availability to Android and continues to explore new designs and functionalities to keep it distinct and engaging for users.
